In 2026, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 25. The federal holiday honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Because it is an official federal holiday, government offices will be closed and federal employees will receive a paid day off. Private businesses and organizations, however, may choose whether to close or remain open.

Post offices, libraries, schools, banks, and the stock market typically close on Memorial Day. Pharmacies and restaurants usually remain open. Grocery stores and retail chains also tend to stay open during most federal holidays.
